  • The Pros: The lifetime edge-chip warranty is a massive plus for busy venues.
  • The Cons: The traditional style may be too simple for avant-garde dining concepts.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Griffin's Head, a bustling gastropub in Bakewell, Derbyshire, was struggling with constant crockery breakages from their previous, cheaper plates. They needed a more robust solution that still looked premium for their popular Sunday lunch service.

"We were replacing plates almost weekly, which was costing us a fortune and  looked unprofessional. Since switching to the Olympia whiteware oval plates, our breakages have plummeted. They look fantastic and  our kitchen team loves how tough they are."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

The switch resulted in a noticeable reduction in replacement costs, cutting crockery-related expenses by over 60% in the first year alone.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Unpack and  inspect all plates for any signs of damage during transit.
  • Give them a good wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand before their first use to remove any dust.
  • Designate a specific, easy-to-reach shelf for storage to minimise handling mishaps.

Keeping It Going

  • These plates are fully dishwasher safe, so feel free to run them through your regular cycles.
  • To protect the beautiful glazed finish, avoid using abrasive metal scourers or harsh scouring powders.
  • When stacking, avoid sliding them across each other; lift and  place them to prevent surface scratches over time.
  • The rolled edges are tough, but always handle with care to get the most out of the lifetime warranty.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Restaurant Plates

Not sure which plates are the perfect fit for your business? Here are a few things to consider.

Consider the Material

Fully vitrified porcelain, like on this Olympia CC890 plate, offers the best durability and  hygiene for commercial use, resisting chips and  stains better than earthenware or stoneware.

Shape and  Size

While round is a classic, whiteware oval plates can frame food differently, especially long cuts of meat or fish. Ensure the size matches your portion control goals.

Look for Durability Features

Features like rolled edges and  a chip warranty are not gimmicks; they are crucial indicators of a plate designed for the bumps and  knocks of a professional kitchen.

Check Stackability

Good commercial plates should stack securely and  neatly to maximise your storage space. Poorly designed plates can wobble and  are a breakage risk.

Heat Resistance

Ensure any plate you choose is at least microwave and  dishwasher safe. This versatility is essential for a fast-paced food service environment.

What Does 'Fully Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?

Ever wondered what 'vitrified' really means? Think of standard porcelain like a very dense sponge. It has microscopic pores that can, over time, absorb moisture, food odours, and  stains. Vitrification is a process where the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature, effectively melting the material into a glass-like state. This seals all those tiny pores, making the plate non-porous. For you, this means your French deep oval serving plates won't harbour old flavours, are far more resistant to chipping and  thermal shock (going from hot to cold), and  are much more hygienic. It’s the secret ingredient that makes them tough enough for professional use.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Gastropubs and  Restaurants: Perfect for beautifully plating main courses like steak, fish and  chips, or hearty roasts.
  • Hotels and  Event Venues: An ideal, durable choice for buffets, room service, or large-scale banquet functions.
  • Busy Cafés and  Bistros: The oval shape is great for presenting generous salads, paninis, or all-day breakfast specials stylishly.
  • Contract Caterers: Their stackability and  robust build make them easy to transport and  reliable for any event.
